Yeah I am worried about this but don’t feel like I know enough to call the sign.
My uninformed take:
I think it probably would have been better to propose this in a few months when the conservatives have had more time to think “okay shit this AI stuff seems real, we need to do something” and come with some conservative flavored version of the thing, and then this might still cause partisanship but the right wing would have consolidated around some position that a) handled the problem at all, and b) is conservative flavored enough that the debate can be between two At Least Somewhat Helpful plans.
From what I’ve seen, the Bannon-Allen right-populist argument has openly been “the Blues are eating us on this front, we need to do something” for a while. There was a touch of “Big Tech is woke” before Trump 2 but it’s gone in favor of “the establishment GOP is betraying the MAGA base for money”.
